Notes

In today’s cultural climate of ironic detachment and post-millennial cool, it’s easy
to be cynical about such lofty sentiments as peace, love, consciousness and enlightenment. In Smith’s case at
least, it’s much more difficult to resist the medium which brings the message. As veteran jazz critic Nat Hentoff
comments in the original liner notes to the ‘Expansions’ (1974) album, “There is power here, but
it’s the power of serenity”. He wasn’t wrong. Few songs, at least few dancefloor anthems, have the
ability to soothe and heal the soul while simultaneously exciting and enervating the senses. ‘Expansions’
does that and more, its dizzying, multilayered piano and keyboards, kinetic bassline and percussive complexity
conspiring to transcend the boundaries of both jazz and funk.
Speaking down a transatlantic phone line recently,
Lonnie himself offered a more humble appraisal: “I wanted to combine positive lyrics, contemporary rhythms,
something people could dance to...”. People didn’t simply dance to it, they went crazy for it, especially
in London where the man is still regarded as a godfather of the dancefloor jazz scene. As Lonnie commented on the
track’s ongoing influence, “You know, kids in the 70’s were raised on Expansions, then they raised
their kids on Expansions...” If the rash of recent samples, clubland makeovers and re-issues are anything to go
by, this timeless track still has the power to bridge the generation gap. Other Cosmic Echoes material has also provided
rich pickings for latter day funk afficionados, notably hip hop crew Digible Planets who used David Hubbard’s
Devika (Goddess)’ for their own ‘Jimi’s Diggin Cats’.

It was a style which carried
an overriding message of transformation through music, both individual and global. ‘Visions Of A New World’
(1975) were exactly what Lonnie was attempting to conjure out of the spectral soundscapes which blessed his muse.
‘A Chance For Peace’, soulful mid-tempo funk that echoed ‘Expansions’ positive vibes and which
remains a pivotal part of his live repertoire, remained optimistic about realising those visions. When I asked the
ageing pianist about the relevance of his message to today’s world, he was unequivocal: “Oh man, you just
have to turn on the TV..” No idle comment from a longtime resident of beleagured New York City.

1976’s ‘Get Down Everybody (It’s Time For World Peace)’ was Lonnie’s most overt bid
to take his philosophy to the heart of the dancefloor; elastic bass, stabbing horns and sassy female backing vocals
lending the Cosmic Echoes an uncharacteristic disco-funk sheen. In fact, ‘Reflections Of A Golden Dream’
(1976) had more than its fair share of funky moments, including the Leopoldo Fleming-penned ‘Peace &
Love’ and the Jon Lucien-like ‘Beautiful Woman’ (neither, sadly, included here). Yet Lonnie
wasn’t entirely ready to relinquish his cosmic explorations; ‘Journey Into Space’ tuned him in to
Sun Ra’s intergalactic frequency, backed by “Cosmic Beings” no less (according to the sleeve
credits!).
By the time he recorded his final effort for ‘RCA’, ‘Renaissance’ (1977),
Lonnie Liston Smith had amassed an impressive body of work, one that formed a subtly powerful link between various
strands of 70’s urban American music: avant-garde jazz, stone funk, pioneering fusion and latin. 
The tracks
on this CD are intended as an introduction, a guide to the man’s mesmerising output. Should your mind be
sufficiently expanded to delve further, you may well end up expanding your record collection into the bargain.
